Burcu Güneş - Kahve Telvesi (Coffee Grounds)
Album: Tılsım (Charm)

Fincanın dibinde kahve telvesi
O geliyor diyor hem de aniden
Bilmediğin biri başka yerlerden
Hayalimi kurdum çok öncelerden
Böyle bir güzeli düşünüyordum ben
Gelmez artık dedim
Vazgeçtim birden
Yarın olsun erken
Bulacağım onu derken...

Ne hoş tesadüf
Baktım gördüm karşımda
Kim kim kimlerden
Tam da benim yaşımda

Gözleri aygın baygın
Hayran hayran karşımda
Kavak yelleri estir öp de benim başımda

Ne hoş tesadüf
Baktım gördüm karşımda
Kim kim kimlerden
Tam da benim yaşımda

Gözleri aygın baygın
Hayran hayran karşımda
Kavak yelleri estir öp de benim başımda

Gözleri elmas elmas
Hayran hayran karşımda
Kavak yelleri estir gel de benim başımda

At the bottom of a cup are coffee grounds,
They say: He's coming, in fact, extremely soon.*
Someone you don't know from a different place.
I built my dreams up ever since the beginning,
I was thinking of a certain handsome somebody.
I said to myself, there's no way he'll come,
I forgot it all at once.
May tomorrow come early.
Just as I was about to go and find him on my own...

What a wonderful coincidence.
I saw you in front of me,
You of all people,
And just my age, too.

His eyes are languid,
Bewildered in front of me,
May the poplar wind blow him my way for a kiss.

His eyes are like diamonds,
Bewildered in front of me,
May the poplar wind blow him my way.

* This has to do with Turkish coffee (very strong stuff) and the coffee grounds that are left at the bottom of the cup after you drink it all. There is a superstition that one could read a fortune from the remaining coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup.
